Finca Los Monos (the Monkey Farm) is situated on Isla Colon, the largest island in the enchanting archipelago of Bocas del Toro, , Panama. The islands enjoy a steady temperature of between 80 and 93 degrees (27 C – 33 C) all year round, with adequate rainfall to keep them lush and humid. Over the years we have created a magnificent garden with large collections of heleconias, gingers, palms, flowering trees, fruit trees, spices and ornamentals. New plants are constantly being added to the property.

Very informative walking tour about the variety of plants and animals living in the jungle. Had a sloth and nocturnal monkey sighting during our visit. You'll also enjoy the incredible story behind how the Botanical Gardens got started.

We had the public tour with Lin to ourselves and it was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and passionate about the plants and animals that it rubs of on you. Her story about finding the beautiful jungle property with her Husband and then starting the...More

Lin was very informative and accommodating during our tour. We saw howler and white faced monkeys, sloths, yellow tails, caiman, poison dart frogs, and turtles along with every type of palm and ginger plant you could imagine. This couple’s story is amazing. Definitely a must-see...More

This was a very interesting tour, well-guided. There are lots of different palms and beautiful tropical flowers. We had hoped to see monkeys (we did see monkey poop!) but the only monkey we saw was a sleeping night monkey.

Yes, it is lucky we have the opportunity to see the Western Night Monkey here in one of it's day camps. As with all the wild life here, they move around so some days there are many animal sightings and some days it's quiet.

A real highlight of our stay. Beautifully created out of dense forest over 18 years by the present owner, this botanical garden is a must for anyone staying in Bocas Town. The garden can be viewed only through a tour led by the owner, Lin,...More
